Skids

21 concerts

Formed in Dunfermline in 1977, Scottish art-punk band Skids is known for anthemic guitar riffs and chanted choruses. Their 1979 debut LP Scared to Dance featured the UK Top Ten hit Into the Valley. Following several line-up changes and albums like Joy and Burning Cities, the band continued releasing albums, including Destination Düsseldorf and early studio demos.

Au Pairs

Lesley Woods fronted the Au Pairs, a British post-punk band known for danceable, politically charged, feminist rock with sharp, confrontational lyrics and critical acclaim.
